I think it does. You can check by typing "mapserv -v" at the command 
prompt. If it says "SUPPORT+TTF" then it probably does have TrueType support.

Have you defined a FONTSET and also defined arial within the FONTSET file? 
I put my fonts in the same directory as the FONTSET file. And font names 
are case sensitive.
